Five players whose price moved between August 1 and August 24. For each one Ian
Hartitz lays out why they moved up, why the move makes sense, why it does not,
and then a verdict on whether the new number is worth paying.

DE'ZHAUN STRIBLING, WR61 to WR51. A perfect storm of the Ricky Pearsall injury,
great camp reports and an awesome preseason: 13 targets and an 11-109-0 line on
only 22 routes, plus a drop that could have been a touchdown. The case for is
that Kyle Shanahan consistently makes more with less in this passing game, from
Richie James to Jauan Jennings to Kendrick Bourne. The case against is that
Stribling still profiles as the No. 4 option behind McCaffrey, Mike Evans and
George Kittle. BUYING as a borderline WR3.

JONATHON BROOKS, RB34 to RB29. Good camp reports and a Chuba Hubbard hamstring.
Dave Canales says that if Chuba is good to go it will be a committee in Week 1,
and Brooks dominated first-team usage in the preseason. But Chuba is not dead,
the burst has not looked great, and RotoWire grades that offensive line 29th.
SELLING at the Round 5-6 price.

JACORY CROSKEY-MERRITT, RB40 to RB37. More clarity on the pecking order, and
ambiguous backfields inevitably create value once a leader emerges. Washington
ranked 5th in scoring in 2025. BUYING a Washington back, though Ian is fine
with either him or Rachaad White.

MARSHAWN LLOYD, RB58 to RB50. He got through camp healthy, which nobody was
assuming, and he is the clear No. 2 in a usually good Green Bay offense at 71%
of snaps to Chris Brooks's 29%. BUYING as a great handcuff.

TERRANCE FERGUSON, TE27 to TE20. Rams tight ends scored the second-most PPR
points in the league last season, and Ferguson led all tight ends in yards per
reception at 21, with 52% of his targets coming 20-plus yards downfield against
21% for the next closest. BUYING as his favorite late-round tight end click in
fantasy.
